This process is intended for small and medium sized enterprises, but large corporations are also considering its application. This webinar will present and critique the version of Control Banding promoted by the United Kingdom Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) and provides information on the Control Banding system used in the pharmaceutical industry. Control Banding should be viewed as an "expert system." As such, it will be broken into its component parts - Hazard Group Prediction Model, Exposure Limit Prediction Model, Exposure Prediction Model, and predefined control strategies. Each component will be described and critiqued. Additionally, diacetyl, an artificial butter flavoring ingredient with no exposure limit, will be used as an example to illustrate how Control Banding is applied, and to demonstrate both its strengths and weaknesses. For example, varying information on the health hazards (e.g., the assigned risk-phases) and/or exposure assumptions can make significant differences in the final decision to improve or not improve controls. Specific recommendations on using and applying Control Banding will be presented to improve the effectiveness of the existing Control Banding scheme, including the need to perform verification studies.
